It's on jackstrands, but you can see that it is going to be really low. Just a 15" wheel but it is a 25" diameter tire and that's what I will be using. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...y99h/004-7.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...y99h/005-7.jpg |
Any updates ?

What are you going to use to knock that rust off the raw sheet metal?
|
I would use Navel Jelly.:thumbsup:
|
there is a spray that is designed just for this situation, it lasts up to 2 yrs, troy trepanier sells it but can be got from most speedshops, its called drycoat.

What are your plans for the outside of car? I would maybe think about just media blasting the car inside and out then spray car with some SPI epoxy primer.:thumbsup: Joe

Steering column firewall mount. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...y99h/001-8.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...y99h/010-8.jpg Inside view of column mount http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...y99h/007-7.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...y99h/009-7.jpg More of the A/C mounts. Easier to see with the dash back out http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...y99h/008-7.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...y99h/004-8.jpg Detroit Speed windshield wiper motor is mounted. Took a little time but it fits now. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...y99h/002-8.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...y99h/003-8.jpg Dakota Digital outboard control module is mounted http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...y99h/005-8.jpg Next is the American Autowire kit http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...y99h/006-8.jpg I will have more in the next week or so |
Lookin good.:thumbsup: Man it must be humid there.
|
I us something called Damprid from walmart in the garage to absorb moisture. It comes in what looks like a gallon ice cream pail. Just remove the lid and place around the car. My car has been in bare metal for about 2 yrs and looks good.
|
idea
I see your surface rust issue
When you get it removed.. im with Joe . media blasting would be great. then use Gibbs on the metal to keep it from happening if you cant paint it or dont want to right away.. Holohans hot rod shop ,Rad Rides and other pro builders use it AND SELL IT. If you contact Dan Holohan who is on this site he will sell it to you and explain it to you.. Dan is a great source of info. :lateral: Tom |
Thanks everyone.
We have a lot of moisture down here. My plan is to media blast the car and prime everything when I'm finished with the metal work. Inside and out Is anyone familiar with powder coating the entire shell? I have read a liitle about it. |

Our powder coater has an epoxy primer we used on surfaces painted later. Worked without problems. |
Been following the build, very nice, should look awesome in the end.
Your thoughts on the autorad workmanship? |

Just a small update. Should have some more next week. Smoothed the cowl. Looks so much better slicked off.
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...psb3e7086a.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...ps57953059.jpg |
Just now getting around to getting a couple of pics. This box came to the shop 2 days ago!
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...s650f8cfb.jpeg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...sb45abdd7.jpeg LS3 from Turn Key Engine. Everything looks great. I am changing the pulley set to bring everything to the middle for a cleaner look. Any suggestions on Vintage Air Frontrunner, March, or Billet Specialties? |
Cowl looks better when filled doesn't it. It's some work but well worth the effort. Man you have to be stoked about what showed in the box. My son Paul put a vintage air frt. drive on his ls engine in his chevy II and I think it's packaged really nice. Not cheap but what is if it's a quality part. :thumbsup: Joe
|
Very Nice.
|
Nice! Love the filled cowl
|

Not many updates, but a little work done
Battery cover built and installed http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...pse3185707.jpg Mounted the Nu-Relic power windows and Nu-Crank switches http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...ps6adff349.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...pse0ed44dc.jpg I rolled the windows up and down a few times today. I know they have not been used much yet, but these Nu-Relic power windows are really smooth and work flawlessly. I recommend them to anyone looking for a power window upgrade. |
Got the panels made for the trunk. Showing some shape now.

nice job on the Nova looks great this is my favorite body style looks like your making great progress. also looks like you need to use some of troy trepainers secret metal sauce it is a paint safe oil to keep the bare metal from rusting! you can get it on his web site it works awesome saves alot of rework because sanding sucks! keep up the great work!

How much room did you give yourself for your exhaust? I've been thinking about doing something close to that on my falcon. I'm just concerned about the 3" exhaust getting too close to the tires. I don't need it causing issues on the big end of the strip! :lol:
